I'll reread htis in the morning with a coffee in my hand and not a beer = clarity ... maybe
I think my educated guess on interference from stuff a couple days ago was "a foot or two" of distance and you'd be fine. Nice to know there's at least some possibility I know what I'm talking about...
That's great and all but a bunch of glorified ski bums ain't ever going to put togetherElectronics interference is difficult.Quote:
Clearly, more study is needed to be able to provide full conclusive data regarding different brands and products that represent the most risk for users.
spectrum management....how does it work?Quote:

totally agree their work was incomplete. and i totally agree that RF stuff can be complete voodoo (antenna design comes to mind).
Ah. Sorry for the spleen then :)
read the article?Quote:

Reread the article and quickly deleted my post. thanks for preserving my reading comprehension skillz or lack there of
why anyone needs to carry anything more than a turned off phone and a beeping beacon in the bc is beyond me.
rog
Article also mentions GPS, radios, cameras... it's beyond me you wouldn't have read that.Quote:

fucking priceless.

I did a modest amount of experimentation a few years ago and found that at close range, something completely passive (a small plate of sheet steel) had pretty much the same affect on a Pieps DSP as any of the active devices I tried out.
I try to keep hunks of metal away from my beacon, whether they are radiating or not.
so those with balls of steel may have a problem?Quote:
